The first is simply hooking tubing up to the compressor inlet. Of course this makes it difficult to pressurize our pneumatic system at the same time, but it works and is legal. The pneumatics guy at the LA Kickoff said you should get about 24 inches of mercury vacuum from the compressor.
Are you sure? when tried this, we found that both the connectors on teh compressor provide air going OUT, and that the intake was simply the air vents around the compressor.

Seems like the only way to create a vacuum is to have a motor (or another cylinder) pull a cylinder.
